Cupid Exclusive: Former ‘Bachelor Pad’ Exes Elizabeth Kitt and Jesse Kovacs Offer Advice on Dating and Love Cupid Exclusive: Former ‘Bachelor Pad’ Exes Elizabeth Kitt and Jesse Kovacs Offer Advice on Dating and Love By Kari Arneson Elizabeth Kitt and Jesse Kovacs are no strangers to finding love on reality television, as they both competed onThe Bachelor and The Bachelorette series respectively – Elizabeth on season 14 with Jake Pavelka and Jesse on season 5 with Jillian Harris. The two seemed to find love as they cozied up with one another during last summer’s reality hit spin-off series Bachelor Pad, but like the majority of The Bachelor franchise unions, their relationship didn’t last after the cameras stopped rolling. Oftentimes, lack of communication in a relationship can lead partners down two totally different paths: Kovacs wanted something more casual while Kitt wanted to fall in love. Nevertheless, the couple’s strong bond and competitive spirit led them into the final six, just a few steps away from winning the big pot of cash. With another season of Bachelor Pad coming this summer, we asked Elizabeth and Jesse for their insight on dating, relationships and finding love on reality TV: 1. Did being on a reality dating show change your perceptions/expectations about dating? Elizabeth: I think watching myself on the The Bachelor and The Bachelor Pad really helped point out some areas I can improve upon in terms of my approach to dating. With Jake I could tell I was very guarded, and unable to open myself up to finding love with him. On the Bachelor Pad, I was too open with falling for Jesse Kovacs. I knew he didn’t have the same feelings for me, but I chose to ignore that and I hoped it would change. I think the more I pushed for it, it pushed him away. (Had the roles been reversed, it would have pushed me away as well!) Jesse: Yes, being on a reality dating show did change my perceptions and expectations about dating. You have to make the most of your time. If you’re not feeling it, then call it like it is and shut it down. But if you like the person and see some potential, you have to let them know so it’s not a waste of time for both parties. 2. What has your dating experience been like sinceThe Bachelor/ette and Bachelor Pad ended? Elizabeth: I think my dating experiences are a little different since the shows. I am definitely stronger in who I am, and what I’m looking for in a relationship. I keep my heart open, but I’m a little more cautious about who I give it away to. There is a balance. It’s a bit more challenging as well, since I don’t typically like to date guys who recognize me from the show. I can see why real celebrities have trouble dating. The fame aspect can be tricky. Jesse: It’s been strange. I found someone now that had no clue I was ever on these shows, but before that I was going out with girls who already knew me and had their opinions. 3. Based on your personal experience as a Bachelor/Bachelorette contestant, do you believe that love can be found on reality TV? Elizabeth: I think love can find us anywhere. A lot of people are skeptical about the Bachelor process, but I’m a believer. Does being on the show ultimately mean you’re going to fall for the Bachelor? No. I didn’t fall for Jake. But I think it CAN happen if it’s meant to be. There are some relationships that have formed after the fact at our Bachelor reunion parties too, so you just never know. You have to have an open mind, and you can’t be afraid to take a chance. Jesse: Absolutely. There is no difference from meeting someone randomly at a Christmas party that you’re not invited to, or on a TV show. Both are weird situations, but it could happen. 4. What piece of dating advice can you give to our single visitors? Elizabeth: Keep an open mind when it comes to finding love. I think we decide at a young age what our life is going to look like, and sometimes it doesn’t always turn out the way we thought. But if we keep an open mind and an open heart, it can turn out to be even better than we ever dreamed! Be optimistic. Learn from past relationships. Don’t be in a rush. And most importantly, loves finds us, we don’t find it. In the meantime, enjoy your single life!! Every day should be a new adventure, whether you’re alone or with someone. Life is precious, and life is short…so live it up!! Jesse: Stop having dating rules. “I only do this,” or “I only date this kind of guy,” is a bad way to start. Having an open mind and taking the pressure off finding the perfect guy on paper will allow some you to meet some really great people. Stay tuned tomorrow as we hear from Bachelor Pad power couple, Tenley Molzahn and Kiptyn Locke. For more information on The Bachelor, The Bachelorette and Bachelor Pad, visit ABC.com..

  • Trista Sutter Explains Why ‘
    Celebrity News: Trista Sutter Explains Why ‘The Bachelorette’ Has More Success Than ‘The Bachelor’ By Diana Iscenko In the latest celebrity news, Trista Sutter, the first Bachelorette, revealed why The Bachelor has less success than its female-led spin-off. On a recent episode of UsMagazine.com’s “Here For the Right Reasons” podcast, Sutter explained why “women do it better.” The reality TV star claims a season’s success is based on how well it was cast and how open the lead is to finding love on the show. Sutter also acknowledges how easy it is to “get caught up in the lust factor.” In the franchise’s history, sixBachelorettes are still with their season’s winner, while only one Bachelor is married to his season’s winner. Several Bachelors have ended up with someone from their season after proposing to someone else. In celebrity news, Trista Sutter opens up about why The Bachelorette has more success stories than The Bachelor. What are some ways to tell the difference between lust and love? Cupid’s Advice: The start of a new relationship is exciting! It’s easy to get swept up with a new partner, but are you excited for the right reasons? If you’re not sure if you’re in love or in lust, Cupid has some advice for you. 1. You enjoy talking to them: Anyone in a new relationship will want to see their partner, but talking over the phone consistently might show that there’s a deeper level of connection. If you only talk to your new partner while seeing them in person, love may be taking a backseat to lust.

  • Jillian Harris First Charmed an Audience with Her
    Jillian Harris first charmed an audience with her irrepressible humor and emotional honesty on ABC’s “The Bachelor” and “The Bachelorette.” She will now have the chance to share her wealth of experience in the design industry as co-host of Love it or List it Vancouver. Growing up in the picturesque Peace River valley in Alberta was a catalyst for Jillian’s creativity and vivacious character. A self-proclaimed “polished redneck,” she’s not afraid to get her hands dirty or climb a ladder with heels on. Whether applied to design or daily life, she carefully combines elements of the metropolis and country, low brow and high class, and the classic versus the absurd. From ATV’ing and campfire roasts to perusing the shops of the Merchandise Mart for design trends- or searching endlessly for the perfect pair of heels-Jillian’s motto about ‘doing it all’ never rests. While this lifestyle makes Jill the quintessential “busy bee,” those close to her would say her passion to make others happy might be the highlight to her multi-faceted personality. Having previously hosted Canada's Handyman Challenge and having worked as a designer on Extreme Makeover: Home Addition, co-hosting Love it or List it Vancouver is a natural fit for Jillian. Outside of her work in television, Jillian jets between the U.S. and Canada to run her firm Jillian Harris Design, pours her heart and soul into her website jillianharris.com and prides herself at always putting family & personal life first, traveling, hosting dinners at her home in Kelowna, taking in fine fashion and, of course, cuisine.

Since first revealing her sparkling personality, filled with irrepressible humor and emotional honesty, Harris has moved on to expose viewers to her design expertise on both Extreme Makeover: Home Edition and Love It or List it Vancouver. Staying true to her motto of “doing it all,” she is now sharing her adoration for vintage and antique items as founder and creative director of Charlie Ford Vintage, a website that brings unique pieces, hand- selected by Harris and her team, to people across North America. “I’ve always been passionate about antiques. My mom used to take me antiquing when I was a little girl,” says Harris. “And I realized that there was opportunity to share the things I loved with the world.” Harris is the quintessential busy bee, and she puts all of the energy her petite frame has into everything she does. Driven by her zeal for design and antiquities, she decided to launch her online shop with her closest friends, Tori Wesszer and Alyssa Dennis.
